All the Little Houses: A Novel

loved this! kept me on my toes the whole time

There weren’t any similarities to the Laura Ingalls books, and frankly, no redeeming characters. Sure, there was a spoiled rich blonde girl named Nellie. And a Bible thumping Pa, named Ethan. Who, it runs out, was really named Charles and grifted and scammed rich people. Oh, and he was closeted gay or bi-sexual. Nothing wrong with that, but he really turned wicked. The Laura character didn’t even have that name. She went by the name of Jane. And almost the sleaziest of all of the characters. Trailer trash, really. And Jane was not the real daughter of the Ma character. I forget her name, but Ma was screwing the town rich guy to build business, open up hers and Pa’s targeted clientele. I really hated the ending. It ended rather abruptly, and thought I’d missed something. This book was a gigantic thumbs down from me.
